By
now, you’ve probably gotten used to clicking the Add to Cart button and
impatiently waiting for kuya or ate rider to arrive with your
latest haul. Brick and mortar shops have gone digital and the number of online
shops is growing by the minute – and these days, the new shoppers’ dilemma is which
products to buy, which online shops to buy from, and most importantly, how to save
on shipping fees.
If,
like us, you’re feeling overwhelmed with the endless options, here’s a quick
guide to your new basic needs now that you’re living an indoor lifestyle!
Health boosters
Unlike many things happening
right now, staying in good shape is something that’s within your control. While
wearing PPEs, practicing social distancing, and constantly washing your hands
can help a lot, your best defense is to keep yourself healthy.
You can start with maintaining
a well-balanced diet and making sure you’re getting important nutrients every
day, like Vitamin C. It can be intimidating to know which vitamin brand to
choose with so many of them out there, but there are brands like Nutrilite that go the extra mile
to ensure quality by tracking the entire process of their plant-based
supplements down to the very seed, and let you know all about it so you can be
confident with your choices.
Home essentials
One of the most important
things during this time is making sure to keep clean. Went out to pick up
deliveries? Sanitize. Touched the elevator button? Sanitize. Everyone now stores
a stash of disinfectants and has their own sanitation station at home, because
nothing beats feeling safe and secure after cleaning up.
Since most alcohol products
tend to dry the skin, look for disinfectants that have aloe ingredients to keep
your hands soft – like Amway
Pursue Hand Sanitizer. Keep your home and other items sparkling
clean as well, using trusted effective brands such as PURSUE™
Disinfectant Cleaner.
Workout fuel
This quarantine lifestyle has
us spending more time sitting and less time walking, so home workouts have
become a must if you want to stay in shape. You probably already found one that
suits you – weightlifting, dancing, HIIT – especially as more and more fitness
facilities offer online classes. Even cycling studios have started selling
stationary bikes so you can ride along with them at home.
Either way, home workouts are
now part of your indoor grind along with chores, work, and virtual hangouts
with friends. It sounds like a lot, honestly. That’s why another indoor
essential we’ve identified is fuel, aka energy drink. Watching your sugar
intake? Opt for sugar-free and carb-free brands, like XS
Energy Drink!
Plantito and plantita
needs
Have you hopped on the green
thumb train? We don’t blame you! Aside from cleaning the air, giving you food,
and making your home more beautiful, plants are quickly becoming the new pets. And
you never have to worry about running out of new leafy babies to add to your
collection since online plant shops seem to be sprouting everywhere, and you
always have your food scraps which you can replant!
As you grow your plant collection
and even try to grow your own food, don’t forget to keep them healthy. Use good
quality soil and fertilizers so your plants grow lush and bountiful. If you’re
not sure which plant vitamins to feed your leafy buddies, go for organic ones
that are safe and effective, like Nutriplant’s.
Grooming necessities
Last but definitely not least
– because grooming is an act of self-care and is still a must even when staying
indoors all day. A good, cold shower can help lift your spirits on off-days
(plus, your housemates will thank you for it!) and some self-love can ease your
anxieties. If you’re one of those who put on makeup and dress up with nowhere
to go just to cope with cabin fever, we applaud you.
Now is actually a great time
to hone your make-up skills. Find brands that allow you to be creative with
your looks, like the vast and versatile collection of Artistry Studio, and
don’t be afraid to go crazy – you’re just at home anyway. Clean up and
suit up, too. Our weapons of choice? Glister
toothpaste, Satinique
hair products, and G&H body essentials!
